Jun 08, 2012

The one area where Lions TE Brandon Pettigrew ranks down the list among tight ends is yards per catch. His 9.4-yard average last year ranked 29 among the 30 tight ends who had 30 or more catches.

"Some of them really separate themselves,” Pettigrew said of the NFL’s tight end class. “If you’re going to be a top tight end in this league, that’s what you’ve got to do, is separate yourself."

“As far as catches and stuff, I’m there. Some guys get a lot of YAC (yards after the catch). The yardage separation is there. I’ve got to put myself there and start making that big play.”

Fantasy Impact:

Pettigrew saw a ton of targets last year which drove his value as a fantasy TE1, but as Titus Young and Ryan Broyles earn more looks, Pettigrew's targets will likely fall, hurting his upside. He's still a decent TE1 in PPR, but less so in standard formats.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift, WR Keenan Allen both Questionable for Week 12

Scott Bair

D'Andre Swift is questionable to play Vikings with a groin injury, though he was limited Thursday and a full participant on Friday.

Keenan Allen is questionable with an ankle injury. He was limited on Friday, his first day on the participation report.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze

Fantasy Impact:

Separate reports called Swift "very likely" to play, but this is seemingly a new issue for Allen.

If Keenan were to miss Week 12, it would boost the floor of all pass-catchers, namely Moore, Oduzne, and Cole Kmet. Moore + Odunze would sneak closer to WR2 territory than their low-end WR3 designations they have with a healthy Allen.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco officially Out for Week 12

Charles Omenihu (knee) and Isiah Pacheco (ankle) won’t play on Sunday, per Coach Reid.

“Just taking it day-by-day,” Reid added.

Related Players: Samaje Perine

Fantasy Impact:

It was later reported that Pacheco was "healthy enough" but they're hoping to hold him back one more game with a short week coming up. This makes Hunt a volume-based RB2 in Week 12.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb returns to Friday practice

CeeDee Lamb practiced today, per Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. That’s a good sign.

Lamb (back/foot) was limited in a walkthrough on Wednesday and missed practice on Thursday.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks, Ryan Flournoy

Fantasy Impact:

Obviously good news for the Cowboys' potential in rolling out an NFL offense in Week 12. The floor is capped for Lamb but we should expect a ton of action funneling his way against the Commanders, which puts him on the WR1/2 fringe.
